Batman is a creature of the night, more about vengeance than justice, more plagued by doubts than full of self-assurance, and more darkness than light. He has no superpowers, just skill, drive and a really well-made suit.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eOne of the most recognized superheroes ever created, Batman has survived through campy TV shows and films, through actors such as Adam West, Michael Keaton and Christian Bale. Batman Unauthorized: Vigilantes, Jokers, and Heroes in Gotham City covers expansive territory ranging from the silly to the solemn. Why is the Joker so good at pushing Batman's buttons? What does Batman's technology say about the times? Why are Batman's villains crazier than average? And why is Batman the perfect, iconic American hero?\"Teens and teachers . . . will be mesmerized.\" \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e—\u003cb\u003e\u003ci\u003eSchool Library Journal\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\"The premiere writer of Batman comics . . . offers a complete picture of Batman in all his incarnations.\" \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e—\u003cb\u003eink19\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\"Darren Hudson Hick's scrutiny of what it costs to be Batman is wonderful fun.\" \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e—\u003cb\u003eTony's Tips\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cb\u003eDennis O’Neil\u003c\/b\u003e is a former comic book writer and editor for Marvel Comics and DC Comics; wrote the novelization for the film \u003ci\u003eBatman Begins\u003c\/i\u003e; and is the author of \u003ci\u003eBatman: Shaman\u003c\/i\u003e and \u003ci\u003eBatman: Sword of Azrael\u003c\/i\u003e.
